I just had someone tell me that recognizing there is such as rules to the english language is the same thing as being anti-trans... this is on a post that had nothing to do with any topic related to the LGBTQ community (it was on a post asking the proper spelling of "no one"). Man you can't even make this stuff up. QT: https://anarchy.center/@luna/110443314875790620
@realcaseyrollins No stopping serial killers would not be a bodily autonomy issues.
Bodily ahutonomy means you have absolute right to put whatever you want in your body, modify your body, and have complete autonomy for what goes, in or out of your body, this would also include the right to decide if and when you die when possible.
Bodily autoonomy also dictates that you can not violate someone elses bodily autonomy.
So under this definition, no a serial killer isnt being denied bodily autonomy, the other way around, they are denying others of their bodily autonomy and thus should have consequences.
Bodily autonomy doesnt mean you can do anything you want.
@realcaseyrollins yup exactly. Except therenis no brain or neurons in the first 2 months, therefore bodily autonomy hasnt kicked in yet. You need a brain to have autonomy.
I am one who feels bodily autonomy is sacred. My argument is usually that both the fetus and parent have bodily autonomy that is in conflict when it comes to abortion. Therefore any law surrounding it must do its best to respect the bodily autonomy of both.
inb4: People usually counter with talk about being forced to donate a liver to someone. But the difference is a fetus only needs you metaphorical liver because you put the fetus in that position in the first place.
I am not against abortion, but I do think it needs to be relatively restrictive in when and how it is permitted (first trimester only)
@realcaseyrollins It is more complicated than that... I think one needs to let the woman have the right to abort, but only if she does so in a way that makes every attempt at minimizing the moral offenses against the fetus... limiting it to ah point in time before the fetus has brain cells seems like ah fair compromise.
How can a person have desires for what they want dont with their body without a brain. Desire and suffering requires a brain. We can infer once it has a brain that if we coukd communicate with it that it woukdnt want to die. Without a brain it has no wants.
Same reason its fine to torture a piece of brocoli, not fine to torture a dog.
Wow, democrats are really showing their colors today with this whole "boycott the CNN" thing... Unless I missed soemthing he is a presidential candidate, and one who so far hasnt been found guilty of anything that would disqualify him... and a popular one.
Yes he is a piece of shit, and yes he has no business being in politics... But its not CNNs job to make those decisions. Their job is to let the candidates say their piece and let the public decide from there (or the courts if there are legal questions).
As much as I hate Trump... I lost **so** much respect for the democrats today. Supporting censorship, specifically doing so with the intent of winning an election in their favor, is a new low... dont be that party...
Its probably more so in modern times, but we always gave kids an exception... the only thing that changed was the age.
When a baby bites a womans nipple no one cares, when a grown ass adult does it no one will excuse it... there is some age where we accept behaviors we wouldnt from adults... the line moves, but there is always a line.
i mean if a woman hugs a baby and the baby grabs the breast and starts sucking through the shirt I bet everyone would laugh... last night at the bar when i did it I got kicked out!
I always found actors kind of cringy when they are talking to someone who isnt there... little things I think most people miss but to me stand out like a sore thumb. Stuff like the length of the pauses and some of the wording seems really unnatural.
Then again i p[ick that up in tv and movies in general, can make a lot of tv hard to watch.
